CAS Watercolour September Challenge

For our challenge, silhouettes can be black, white, metallic or any other dark colour (gray, navy, brown).

My card starts with a tissue paper watercoloured background - click HERE to see my video tutorial. I used a piece from my stash, so not sure of the ink that I used but believe it is Distress inks worn lipstick and peeled paint. I glued it onto a piece of white card stock for sturdiness. I placed a Wildflower stencil over top and sponged with Delicata Gold ink. The card front was mounted onto a base and then the sentiment banner was glued on top down the left hand side.

Such a pretty and elegant tissue paper panel, Loll! I love that your gold wild flowers almost look like melting into the background. And using a stencil for making a silhouette is a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration! Hideko

Your card is breathtaking, Lolly! And I'm so pleased to know that silhouettes don't have to be black. That really opens up the possibilities. Now, watch, I'll prolly do a black one, but nevertheless, it's good to know! Enjoy your day! Love, Dolly

This is a gorgeous tissue paper background Loll and the delicata gold silhouette looks stunning over the top and matched so prettily with the sentiment using the same ink. A great idea to have that large sentiment running along the side too. x
